One more time. We allow religious people to live lives that can seem fictional to others and in conflict to others beliefs and values. We don't require them to fit a certain definition of what true existence should be?

Why the hell should we force anyone into a fixed reality? Can you answer that?

We just balance rights that conflict with all these other people as best we can. That's the way you treat trans people.

I like this post. If it wasn’t for the really small percentage of XY individuals that want to participate in women’s sports the issue is much clearer.

Problem is it is not just those types. We have people letting and even wanting their minor children to transition. I have read that 50 clinics for this have popped up since Obamacare. In the old days a young boy wanted to act like a girl he got told to knock it off. If he didn't he eventually got a good crack upside the head and told firmly to knock it off or else. IOW, it was a weird phase. If it still kept up they probably got therapy.

Now too many parents think they have to be medically changed. On top of all this, because of the media attention on the subject we have normal people questioning themselves. Generally they are weaker minded folks who will fall into this for many things over their lives, but it is one more thing.



We are raising a mentally ill generation.


Science says you cannot change your gender. A big reason the suicide rate is so high among trans people.

The simple answer is that we should quit breaking down sports by sex. Let's just have sports that everybody competes in.

In other so de you just want to get rid of women in sports? Because that would be the result.

Of course it would. In sports smaller men can't even compete against bigger men, and women are even smaller than the smallest man. They would be gone instantaneously in any sport. That famous black tennis player I can't remember her name, she says that even a male high School tennis champion could easily beat her because everything he does is different on the tennis court than her. He's faster and he hits the ball harder and he's a kid.

Absolutely not. Women could compete with men is sports, maybe not at the highest levels but in many sports there are multiple divisions. Think of baseball, there is MLB, AAA, AA, A, ....... why not keep going until there is a division for everyone that wants to play? I would guess when you got down to XYZ division some women could be competitive with the men. There are probably a million women in the U.S. that could play better than me.

we'll have to disagree

I'll say one thing, it's very clear that we as a nation are schizoid on women sports. The media feature stories on women's sports all out of proportion to their real popularity, and the NBA supports the WNBA or they say it would disappear, etc, meanwhile if some transwoman dude who has changed nothing but his name wants to compete with women, the very same Wokesters , very same, are all for it . Go figure
